        Friction stir welding is suitable for joining series 5000 alloys because no fusion welding problems arise for the alloys in this process. In this project, the effect of tool geometry on mechanical properties and formation of common defects in FSW such Kissing Bond defect and Hooking was investigated. Specimens were welded with three pin, that is, Cone with stair (stair at intersection of two sheets), frustum, and Tri-flute (rotating speeds: 650 , 500 rpm / welding speeds: 50, 25 mm/min). First, the macrostructure and microstructure of weld sections was investigated, and afterwards tensile shear test from retreating side as well as micro hardness test were examined. The results show that from among three pins which were used in this project, Tri-flute is the best pin simply because the specimens which were welded with this pin not only had an appropriate Hooking height, but also Kissing Bond was not destructive in these specimens.

        In this study, an appropriate coating was prepared by increasing ultraviolet reflectance of cotton-nylon 66 fabric for camouflage of military targets in the snowy areas. For this purpose, first several highly UV reflective compounds such as BaSO4, SiO2 and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were applied on the fabric by using citric acid and sodium hypophosphite (SHP) and then grafted by heat treatment. The effects of the effective parameters including type and amount of compounds, amount of citric acid and SHP and temperature of heat treatment were investigated. Reflectance behavior and surface morphology of the fabric were studied by UV-Vis reflectance spectroscope and SEM, respectively. Results indicated that UV and visible reflectance increases up to 85% with applying of BaSO4 particles on the fabric. Thus a suitable fabric coating has been achieved for camouflage in the snowy areas. Excellent rubbing and washing durability of grafted BaSO4 particles on the fabric demonstrated that these particles have been attached on the fibers of the fabric with chemical bands, especially on the cotton fibers. Moreover, the used method in this study does not have any significant effect on the cotton and nylon 66 fibers structure. Parameters such as citric acid and SHP concentration and heat treatment temperature have an optimum amount and thus, using them more than this amount leads to decreasing UV and visible reflectance of applied fabric.

        In this study, the effect of Cu addition (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt%) and T6 heat treatment on the tensile properties and quality index of A356 alloy containing different amount of iron (0.5-1.5 wt%) was investigated. According to the results in as-cast condition, the addition of copper to the iron bearing alloys increased the tensile strength by about 25% while substantially decreased the percent elongation (by almost 80%). After heat treatment, however, the tensile strength and the quality index of the alloy containing 1 wt% copper and 1.5 wt% iron were found to be increased by about 100 and 35% as compared to the base alloy, respectively. The improvement in the quality index was attributed to the precipitation hardening effect of Al2Cu and Mg2Si precipitates as well as thermal modification of eutectic silicon and iron-rich platelets, which increase the tensile strength, and ductility of the alloy.  Manuscript profile

        In this study, ZnWO4 nanoparticles were synthesized through co-precipitation method with sodium tungstate dehydrate (Na2WO4.2H2O) and zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn (NO3)2.6H2O) as starting materials. In order to optimize the conditions for obtaining smallest mean particle size, Central Composite Design (CCD) was used and three parameters of temperature, weight ratio of precursors, and pH value were studied in five levels. The obtained ZnWO4 nanoparticles were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric- differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and photoluminescence (PL). The results showed that optimal conditions for smallest mean nanoparticles with particle size of 37.3 6.9 nm were temperature =83 , weight ratio of precursor equal to 1.1, and pH=6. The resulting ZnWO4 nanoparticles were dry- pressed to green compact pellets with a diameter of 11mm and thickness of 1.5 nm at the compaction pressure of 500 MPa. The densification of nanoparticles compacts was carried out by a pressure less sintering at 950  for 2 hours in air atmosphere. Scintillation properties of pellets were determined by means of Gama-rays spectroscopy. The results showed that manufactured ZnWO4 pellets illustrated counting sensitivity to Cs137 and Am241 irradiation sources and couldn’t detect energy of Gama-rays emitted from this two source.

        Metal matrix composites, according to the type of reinforcement used, have a different machinability. 2024 Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with aluminum oxide is among the materials the machining of which through traditional methods leads to the rapid wear of the tool; hence, EDM is a suitable method for machining this class of materials. Given that this machining method has different parameters, optimal set of machining parameters has a major effect on machining time, surface quality and tool wear rate. Using calculation and analysis of the total normalized quality loss (TNQL) and simultaneous signal to noise ratio of the outputs, this research is an attempt to investigate the effect of EDM parameters including current intensity, voltage, pulse on-time, and pulse off-time on material removal rate, tool wear rate and surface roughness in a the states of with and without powder and rotary tool. The results showed that current intensity and then pulse on-time, pulse off-time, and voltage have respectively the most important effect on output parameters of machining. The use of aluminum oxide powder and rotary tool increases gap and creates a centrifugal force and hence moves particles away from the area of machining and finally increases MRR. The use of aluminum powder in collision with sparks makes the sparks smaller and reduces their penetration depth and, thus, reduces the surface roughness. The results of optimization without powder and rotary tool proposes the combination of parameters as A3B1C2D3 while with powder and rotary tool proposes the combination of parameters as A1B1C2D3.

        Hot compression test was carried out on extruded AZ63 magnesium alloy samples to investigation of the effect of thermomechanical parameters on AZ63 magnesium alloy texture behavior. At first, samples have been machined on two extruded direction (ED) and normal direction (ND). Then, hot compression test performed at 250 °C and strain rates of 0.01 s-1 and 1 s-1 and various strain. Microstructural investigation and texture evolution reveal that tensile twinning leading to basal texture improvement in roll direction (RD=ED) and compressive twinning causes changing texture align transverse direction (TD) at primarily strain during hot compression test. Also, observation of Texture evolution by pole figures indicate that dynamic recrystallization reduces basal texture intensity in ND samples at high strains. Manuscript profile

        In this study, the nanocomposite of palladium-carbon nanotubes-chitosan was synthesized and characterized by XRD and TEM techniques. The synthesized nanocomposite was used for the modification of glassy carbon electrods surfaces. Using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique, the electrochemical activity of modified electrode (GC/PdNPs-MWCNTs-CH) toward methanol oxidation was investigted in a solution of 0.5 M sodium hydroxide and 1.0 M methanol. The results revealed that the synthesized nanocomposite shows a high catalytic activity toward methanol oxidation and thus has an efficiency for use as anode for the methanol fuel cells. The effects of different parameters such as methanol and electrolyte concentrations, potential range, and potential scan reate on the anodic current density and the peak potential of methanol oxidation were also investigted. Moreover, comparing the electrochemical activity of the palladiun nanocatalyst for methanol oxidation with that of the platinum-type, it was concluded that the former has a considerable activity closed to the platinum one. Therefore, it coulde be a souitable substituer for platinum in the methonl oxidation process. This substitution, also reduces the catalyst price. Manuscript profile
